I love Brooke almost as much as Peyton though, they are my favorite OTH characters (next to Jake

) thats why I don't ship Brucas, he just doesn't deserve either of them. But yeah, I totally get you, as much as I don't want to see it

I'm really hoping they make me be almost okay with Blair again, its no fun hating her this much

But I really need to see her in the cake first for that to happen

**Blackened Sky** · 11-02-2009, 01:38 PM

Can you guys stop mocking Lucas&Peyton relationship? There are fans here

& I thought this is an epi discussion thread.
Sorry for the rant but "the puke" smiley is too much to handle...I hate this smiley.

**Kiss of Death** · 11-02-2009, 01:54 PM

Sorry, Wero!

Well, if B's face in the cake helps take the anger away so you can like her...I'm all for it. I just wish I had something like that for S...

**Blackened Sky** · 11-02-2009, 02:03 PM

Who's face is in the cake? Serena's or Blair's?

Thanks God it's not my poor Vanessa's!

**Beautiful Disorder** · 11-02-2009, 02:42 PM

look at you guys, wishing for my girls' downfall

but it's comic relief so hey. And yeah Wero, thank god it isn't V's! She's had enough embarrassin UES situations for a lifetime!

**Kiss of Death** · 11-02-2009, 02:53 PM

I wouldn't mind S's face.

But, yes, no V, thank god!

**Kiss of Death** · 11-02-2009, 08:47 PM

3x08

I love that Chuck and Blair are a part of the campaign. (Preparing for Nate...in 10 years…*cough*)

KC wants Patrick around politicians.

Dan and Olivia wake up and mention V’s absence. *giggles* hehe *cough* And then they mention Jimmy Fallon and Olivia gets all sketchy.

CN! Oh man, I love these boys. Chuck’s new place. B loves the surveillance. Hehe. He says it’s naughty.

VANESSA! CAMERA! YAY! *SQUEAL* the NV and CV girls can be happy then?

Grandfather. He called Chuck Charles. Hehe. Can Lily and Grandfather talk about Charles one day? Oh man. I have issues.

Maureen…

Grandfather and Nate talk. “Nothing short of a miracle.” Dun dun dun

Olivia and Serena are talking. And Dan comes and it’s awkward because of the Jimmy Fallon thing so the girls talk about guys and Dan’s awkward because his current girlfriend is talking to his ex girlfriend about her current boyfriend, who is Olivia’s ex. *blinks* His wording was hilarious, but I wasn’t fast enough to catch it.

Blair is walking towards her room. S left Olivia’s. S wants a latte. She’s willing to let it slide. Hi. Have you met Blair? So they’re sad.

Amalia is there. (I like this one..she can be the new Isabel/Kati, yes?) “I need a friend, stat.” “I’m your friend.” (OMG, she’s adorable.) “Please. I’m not friends with staff.” I love you, Blair Waldorf. Never change, k, thx.

Trip and Nate. Ah, can Trip become a regular? I have fallen in love with him.

Someone is drowning! He goes in. V’s filming.

And we’ve cut to the news. DUDE. I was like..why is New York news playing and it took a moment to realize it’s part of the SHOW. Brilliant!

Nate doesn’t trust Grandfather.

Vanessa’s so happy. Her rescue footage will be used!!! And we got a V/S scene.

SN. Nate’s not a fan of hers. “My job’s at stake!” And I didn’t get the full convo, but I’m TeamNate! Because his cousin’s political career was/is at stake, Serena! Boo hoo.

Trip comes along and asks if S will be there. So she’s got her invite.

Blair’s got FOUR minions. Nice. And she stops a … coveted bag. (I’m not a fashion/accessory person, leave me be.) So she invites this girl. Brandice. (We’ll call her that since I haven’t a clue.)

Scrabble. Humphreys. Lucky you, Olivia.

WHERE IS ERIC! He’s with Jonathan watching the results. (Or they’re at the party but…Chuck’s..busy…with..girls…press…yes, we’ll believe this… *cries*)

Jenny’s sick. NO MAKE UP. Look how pretty. (I mean it. She’s pretty without the makeup.)

Olivia deletes the text on Dan’s phone.

Vanessa’s looking at the footage and spots a boo-boo. Oopsies.

Serena goes to Patrick. He’s hot. And drinking as S tries to be serious (and I try to care..)

NV! She tells Nate that it was a set-up. “I have it all on tape.” She doesn’t want to be part of a cover-up.

And Nate calls New York 1. And I’m still cheering him on. Because Chuck is his BEST FRIEND, guys. Natie’s LEARNING. I’m proud. BC would be, too. *pets Natie*

There’s some S/P and B/Brandice stuff. And then BS.

“No one’s ever accused you of saying no.” BURN. I love you, Blair. Tis true.

Dan watches Jimmy Fallon.

V comes to the party and talks to the producer and realizes she’s been duped.

Dan rushes out and tells Olivia to stay. Jenny realizes she owns a laptop! The girls run to check.

Ew, 5 hours of board games. Either Eric is at Chuck’s hotel or he ran away. *shivers* oh.my.god. wow

J/O watch the Late Night stuff. Blah blah. I really don’t care.

S/P. He tells S that B’s friend is a call girl. *blinks* Yeah.

NV. He had to protect his cousin! And the self-righteous quote from the promo is to Vanessa.

The news reports the hoax. And thus, this is why I love BV. Because they can match. V’s not afraid of the UES. You go girl!

Nate gets everyone out as the Vanderbilts talk. Trip’s not happy and he’ll resign if Grandfather doesn’t come clean. But it’s not him! And..I believe him. Because Blair, Chuck, & Grandfather would SMIRK. Grandfather is not happy either. It wasn’t him, guys!!!

So my initial reaction is Buckley’s?

And then Trip says he’s going to withdrawal but he needs to tell Maureen first.

And I knew it was this bitch. FAIL. (Blair, can you talk with her..because I’d love her to rip Maureen a new one.)

S confronts Brandice. “Two blondes make a right.” LMAO! Oh, S. She’d know… *cough* sorry.

Chuck’s trying to talk with a reporter but he seems drunk!douche!Patrick without pants. Not that I didn’t enjoy it, but wow. Security’s on him. Chuck’s that good.

S tells B her friend is a hooker.

BCS. Ah, I miss these three.

“The only prostitute here is you.” Oh, Blair. (Besides..not the only! Natie, too. Oh, wait, we’re over that storyline. Carry on.)

And BC go away and S pushes her into the cake.

Pause. Commentary time.

The MOMENT someone calls S something mean she goes into … I don’t even know what to call it. But Chuck called her a train wreck. She sabotaged his business meeting. Blair called her a prostitute and S pushes her into the cake. Real mature, S. Are we 5?

Nate takes the stage and takes the blame because he loves his cousin! PLEASE! TRIP. DO NOT LEAVE! I love you.

Vanessa’s filming this.

Nate says Trip had no knowledge of it. And says great things but I wasn’t fast enough to write it. But it was beautiful. I love you Nate Archibald.

Serena and Chuck! *SQUEAL* Alas, he doesn’t really take sides. He just KNOWS his girlfriend and pretty much tells S she should know Blair, too. DUH. Amazing scene. I watched and then it ended and I couldn’t write what he said because I was pure happiness. But, “I’m telling you.” FIX IT, bitch.

Dan and Olivia. The spider story was false like Fallon called it. He was sweating. SURPRISE. Hi, Dan Humphrey. But the reason he left the van der Woodsen home was because he forgot their one month. Everyone awws, I just roll my eyes.

Trip thanks his cousin.

AND!! HE WON. And YES! He’s 26. And I kid you not, I jumped and squealed because I’ve been trying to figure out how old Trip is since 3x06. *cough* I already mentioned my issues! Leave me alone!

“You’re the only honest man in the family.” Yeah, that’s gonna come back, ain’t it?

It’s the beginning of a new Vanderbilt dynasty! Dun dun dun (Natie’s still gonna be a senator in my eyes, btw.)

Blair/Serena. “I’m sorry.” But you’re too late, S.

Blair says S was always #1 and now B’s in college and in a working relationship. S is losing her family, something with Carter, and her job is dating a failing celebrity.

“And you’ve lost Nate; one of your oldest friends.”

Blair ‘ships ‘em bitches! *giggles*

Blair’s done, though.

She finds Brandice and the girl confesses. “Eww.” I love you, B.

“You used me to meet new clients?!” hehe I love Blair. She says the best things.

S/P. “That’s what you get paid for.” BURN.

And S writes “KC I quit” on a napkin and gets Patrick to take it to KC. Good bye. And thus, see, you’re job sucks. You lost your BFF for it. Bravo, Serena.

Blair and Serena catch each others’ eyes but B goes back inside.

Maureen and William. I WAS RIGHT! Maureen did it. But! She wanted Grandfather out of their lives. And now Grandfather had no credibility. I still hate Maureen.

Blair is lying in bed as Chuck enters. He says he thought she went home or else he would have come sooner. *SWOON* And he gets in behind her. 3x02 switch? I love these two.

“That’s okay. I have you. That’s all I need.” And my heart broke for BS. Because they really do need each other.

I don’t understand was Vanessa was doing in the end. Looking at her footage?

Dan and Olivia and Fallon and something. *shrugs*

BC are adorable and B’s heartbreaking.

And Serena’s at the bar. Trip comes around. He wants to listen. This is gonna explode.

Vanessa was looking at her stuff on the news. And GG said something about crossing the line. I think she was supposed to contemplating what she did to get her stuff on the news. Or whether she did it for the right reasons. IDK.

**Kiss of Death** · 11-02-2009, 08:58 PM

It happened so fast I couldn't really follow.

MPGirl · 11-02-2009, 09:08 PM

It wasn't like a big deal.

On a superficial note, Jess looked great tonight.

theresadawn · 11-02-2009, 09:27 PM

Thats how I saw her last scene to Mia. Like Nate took to heart what V said to him in their last scene hence doing the right thing after all and then V taking into account what N said about her just wanting her name on the news.

MPGirl · 11-02-2009, 09:42 PM

Exactly Theresa.

**Kiss of Death** · 11-02-2009, 10:52 PM

AH! Got it. Thanks! Makes sense now.

**Beautiful Disorder** · 11-03-2009, 12:44 AM

It's time for some honesty. I was a little bit bored and very confused.

1. I do not understand BS's fight at all. So Serena has a job...? What has that got to do with Dan?? Blair has been obsessed with winning over NYU for ages now, Serena can't find her own path? No. Still can't take Blair's side here, sorry.
2. Chuck. Um. I know it's character growth, but honestly. There's something wrong. I can't put my finger on it.
3. Vanessa&Nate. I found it a bit hard to take anyone's side, cos it really did look like she was just trying to further her career. She could have chosen not to air the clip at all. Would it have been the right thing? Probably not, but I feel they were both wrong somehow. At least the end showed that she felt what I'm thinking.
4. I like Maureen. I knew it was her. That is all.
5. I'm beginning to feel bad for gramps. So far I havent seen that thing he's done that's soooo evil. But they keep hating on him anyways

6. Tripp. Serena. WTF. Glad she quit though.
7. Thank god Chuck has a bigger room now. That other one was weirdly minute.
8. DO... were cute... then it got too fluffy at the end though. I couldn't resist an eye roll or two.
9. The promo. Ugh.
10. I do not get the bathroom boy thing.

mesmerized · 11-03-2009, 03:58 AM

Yeah, sorry Jackie, the cake didn't help much, still can't stand her, still Team S FTW!

I just hate the way Blair talks down to Serena and I hope they are gonna stay far away from each other for a while now. Ugh, I really don't like their friendship at all! I'm just so sick of it. I hope what Chuck says will come true, S needs a new BFF! And what a great life B is building for herself

So Blair being pathetic and trying to rule NYU and CB is sooooo much better than Serena actually trying to figure out who she is, getting a job and SCa? Whatever.

That said I really enjoyed the episode because there was finally some focus on Natie

He was awesome and I thought the whole political storyline was much more interesting than I expected. My Natie boy finally getting some develoment

I thought V was awesome! She was only trying to do the right thing. And she was so cute being all excited about filming the campaign
